(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT). WELLINGTON. August 25. The first annual meeting of the Wellington Meat Export Company was held this afternoon. The report stated that the reason of the delay in getting machinery was that various experiments are still being made at Home, and it was considered advisable to await the result of these before hastily adopting a machine which in actual working might turn out to be unsatisfactory. The Directors reported the ship Lady Jocelyn fitted with refrigerating machinery had been secured to load at this port with 275 tons of meat and 25 tons of dairy produce. Efforts were also being made to obtain other vessels during the months of January and February next. This day. Specimens of quartz from the Golden Crown Claim, Terawhiti, have been analysed by Dr. Hector. The yield of gold calculated per ton was found to be 6oz. 2dwt. 12grs. The gold is of fair quality for reef gold, being wortn about £3 os per oz. Dr Hector and Messrs Lemon and Jones, Engineers of the Albion Mining Company, have gone to Terawhiti to inspect the claims. Arrived : City of Tajore ; and barque Sinclair, 125 days from London. AUCKLAND. This Day. Mr Connelly’s house in Victoria-street was burned this morning. It was insured for £lOO in the Scottish Imperial Company. Tawhia is at Kawhiaois at Kawhai collecting food for the coming meeting with the Hon. Mr Bryce. Richard Moore, who attempted suicide recently, is still alive, but daily getting weaker.

Constable Cooper, an A.C., at Cambridge, has resigned. By the death of his father he falls in for over £lOOO per year. NAPIER. This Day. The Natives of Tahoraihe, the Seventy Mile Bush, lately warned surveyors off one of the Maori paddocks through which the Railway line is being laid off. The Government were communicated with, and Capt. Preece, R. M., was appointed to settle the difficulty, and in which he has been thoroughly successful. The obstruction, no doubt, in the first instance was a try on to get money ; but just one of those that demand immediate attention in order to avoid future complication. The Maoris have been guaranteed compensation, and they have promised to let the survey proceed.
